No doubt that day last week will go down as “Black Wednesday” for all the death’n’misery profiteers out there: the day the US Trade Representative’s office announced its support for a waiver of patent protection for COVID19 vaccines developed by Pfizer, Biontech, Novavax, and Moderna — and Wall Street crapped its pants.
After week after week after week of hell raised about places like India, where they’re dying like flies and can’t get enough vaccine because American corporations, true to form, are hoarding the supply and the IP protection — the US Trade Rep has decided that waiving patent protection on vaccines during a worldwide pandemic might be a pretty good idea after all… and this hasn’t stopped Wall Street from doing the voodoo that it do so well — setting shares of all four of those companies dropping like a rock on Jupiter.
Buddy, can you paradigm?

Mere hours after the Derek Chauvin verdict was handed down, Columbus police shot 15 year-old Ma’Khia Bryant to death after she called the police for help as she was being threatened. That’s right; she called the goddamn cops for help, and they shot her — after which police taunted bystanders with declarations of “Blue Lives Matter!”.
And while that atrocity was going on, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was sharting out the following hot, sloppy bucket of White Liberal Bougie Politician horseshit:
Speaker Pelosi: “Thank you George Floyd for sacrificing your life for justice … Because of you and because of thousands, millions of people around the world who came out for justice, your name will always be synonymous with justice.”

…and here I thought Pelosi had totally hit bottom with that taking a knee in a kente cloth stunt. Christ, that goddamn woman needs to just shut the hell up, resign from office, and retire back to San Francisco with her huge-ass fridge full of overpriced ice cream.

From the party that brought you DNC Dog Food, New Blue Money Detergent, Blue Box Chardonnay, and their Premier Donut Assortment now comes — DNC Ramen! Just the thing to blow that big-ass $2000 — uhh, that is, $600 + $1400 — stimulus check that we were supposed to be getting. Never mind that Gropin’ Joe, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock came right out and said in front of god and everybody that their being elected would allow the immediate passage of $2000 per person in Covid’19 relief.
That would be two thousand —count ’em — two triple-zero dollars. Not the measly $600 and the “oh, alright” $1400 after that, which is what Snopes uses to give its master class in triangulation and “meaning of is” asshattery in an attempt to “fact check” what Biden & Bros said right in front of our personal faces. Luckily, we now have fact-checker checkers.
